Born Tight

Catch a tiger by the toe
And when it bites you, don't let go
You bite it back so it knows
That you're wild
And you're born on a tight rope
Build a fortress up on a hill
Find a love that fits the bill
Sometimes it never will
So you burn it down and you notch the kill
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
Be brave
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
Be brave
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
Be brave
Mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
You wear your fears
Up on your shoulders
Like a bird with the weight of a boulder
Will you pretend the pretense is over
Or will you let your anger smolder
When my mind gets old and decrepit
And my heart forgets how to forgive
Hide a bullet in my nose
And whisper that
I was born on a tight rope
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
Be brave
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
Be brave
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
Be brave
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Can't help you now
And the only thing that I ever learned
To be true was that...
Be brave
Be brave
Girls just wanna have fun
Be brave
Girls just wanna have fun
Be brave
Girls just wanna have fun
Be brave
Girls just wanna have fun
Be brave
Be brave
Be brave
